Don't Give Up

I went to watch a local football match in a neighborhood school ground. As I sat down, I asked one of the boys what the score was.

With a smile, he replied; "They are leading us 3-0" !

And I said, “Really ! I have to say you don't look discouraged.”

"Discouraged?" the boy asked with a puzzled look, “Why should I be discouraged when the referee has not blown the final whistle? I have confidence in the team and the managers; We shall definitely overcome!”

Truly, the match ended 5-4 in favor of the boy's team!

He waved at me gently, with a beautiful smile as he left. I was amazed, mouth wide open at such confidence and such beautiful faith.

As I got back home that night, his question kept coming back to me, "Why should I be discouraged when the referee has not blown the final whistle?"

Life is like a game. Why should you be discouraged when the Almighty God is your manager? Why should you be discouraged, while there's still life? Why should you be discouraged when your final whistle has not sounded?

The truth is that many people blow the final whistle themselves. But as long as there is life, nothing is impossible and it is never too late for you. Half time is not full time. Don't blow the whistle on yourself.

Don’t give up, and keep your faith. With sincere efforts, all things are still possible!

I will leave you to enjoy this song that captures the thought really beautifully.  

रुक जाना नहीं तू कही हार के
काँटों पे चल के मिलेंगे साये बहार के |
